What if my puppy is scared or stressed during grooming?

Mild uncertainty or wariness is completely normal for a puppy’s first grooming appointment. Our groomers are trained to recognize stress signals and respond by slowing down, reassuring, and adjusting the approach rather than pushing through. In some cases, a first appointment may focus primarily on handling introduction and bathing, completing additional grooming services at a follow-up appointment once the puppy is more comfortable.
